Final film

AND HERE IS OUR FINISHED SHORT FILM!!

Exporting the final film - Amy

So here I am updating you on our progress,
We have just finished the credits on the film as they were slightly pixelated before,
But we figured out the problem:
When we took the credit animation from Motion it exported it In a much smaller format size then our film,
So I went back into motion and re-created our whole credits before exporting it in the larger format.
I have also added some non diegetic soundtrack- music, to our credits so I hope you enjoy :)

Match on Action- Amy

In our short film we have used a number of media techniques to make our short film work, for instance we have added a lot of match on actions into our work to make all of the shots flow together and to avoid any 'jumps' between the shots. 
A match on action is when you start a movement in one shot and then continue the movement in the next shot. 
Here is a video example: 

Amy and Andy Blog talk

So here is a clip of Amy and Andy 'trying' to talk about editing so far...
If you cannot tell we have been editing for a while now, so we decided to put some lovely input onto the blog, yeah... we got a bit crazy.
Oh also enjoy the evil villain Andy laugh at the end...

Filming so far

During our adventures filming we managed to get some good shots and get covered in a lot of mud. Some of the shots we filmed we are going to have to re-shoot as they are too dark.

The fence we had in mind of using in that location was not suitable as it was too small and was a bit too far away from the actual wood. We have found another fence in another location very close to this one that we plan on using.

Static effect- Amy

We have been working with the different effects that we can use in our short film, 
I have literally just finished our final choice for this effect, the "Bad TV" effect on Final Cut Pro is the source of this effect we have created. 
I have basically been messing around with the static level, camera roll and the waviness of our shot to cover up our transition and to create the effect of Slender man being near this creates the feeling of suspense and especially when the audience find out that Slender Man makes technical equipment go all weird when he is around will give the audience a sense of fear for the characters and give the audience the realisation that the characters may actually be in a lot of trouble. This also allows them to connect the shots together and makes them feel as if they are part of solving the mystery it also makes them want to watch the rest of the short film to see what is going to happen.
